Description Michael Monreal 2008-12-04 13:38:54 UTC

The Fn-F7 key combo (which should toggle internal/external screen output mode) does not work on my Lenovo 3000 N200 notebook in openSUSE 11.1rc1.

Other Fn functions (mute, vol up/down, suspend, hibernate) work.

Comment 1 Timo Hoenig 2008-12-04 13:43:46 UTC

Do you see an event when running

$ lshal -m

?

Comment 2 Michael Monreal 2008-12-04 13:47:22 UTC

No, not for Fn-F7 :/

Comment 3 Timo Hoenig 2008-12-04 13:50:03 UTC

And also nothing when running (as root):

$ sleep 1 ; showkey -s

?

Comment 4 Michael Monreal 2008-12-04 13:54:19 UTC

No, only seems to work for other Fn-*s

Comment 5 Timo Hoenig 2008-12-04 14:00:38 UTC

OK, thanks for the information.

Holger/Thomas, does anyone of you know more about the Lenovo 3000 series hardware?  Is thinkpad-acpi supposed to work on those models?

It seems to be a kernel issue, changing component.

Comment 6 Michael Monreal 2008-12-04 14:05:40 UTC

I can tell as much: the N200 is not a Thinkpad and not meant to be used with the thinkpad-acpi module.

Comment 7 Timo Hoenig 2008-12-04 14:07:56 UTC

OK.  When searching the web one can see that this is a known issue and I didn't find a solution for it.

No response for 4 months. Closing as NORESPONSE.
